FILM DELAWARE

Linking the Production Community with the Delaware Community

WHAT WE DO

Film Delaware is a private non-profit organization which promotes the Video Game, Motion Picture, and Television Production industries in Delaware.

Film Delaware is an advocate for these industries and works with the Delaware Motion Picture and Television Development Commission to provide resources and information for individuals and organizations engaged in all aspects of film and motion picture production, video game production, and new media services.

FISCAL SPONSORSHIP PROGRAM

What is Fiscal Sponsorship?

Fiscal sponsorship is a formal arrangement in which a 501 (c)(3) public charity, such as Film Delaware, agrees to sponsor a project that furthers our mission, for the purpose of fundraising through grants and donations. This alternative to starting your own non-profit allows you to seek grants and solicit tax-deductible donations for your documentary, with the oversight, support and endorsement of Film Delaware.

Our mission is simple; to support filmmakers and to further the art of filmmaking. Our Fiscal Sponsorship Program directly accomplishes this by helping to support films which might otherwise be unable to secure funding and be completed! As Fiscal Sponsors of your project Film Delaware will not take any ownership of your project, nor will we infringe upon your creative control, copyright, or prevent you from future sales or profit from your project. Film Delaware seeks to be as non-intrusive as possible in monitoring projects. For the most part, what we do is to assure that the money you raise is being properly dispersed, and used for the project as intended. If desired, we will assist filmmakers through the crucial phases of distribution and outreach, as well.

WHY DELAWARE

Easily accessed from New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington, D.C., Delaware’s compact size makes getting to and from various locations simple.

Delaware is an Atlantic Coastal state, offering seaside vistas, the Delaware, Brandywine, and Christina Rivers, Historic Old New Castle, and beautiful University of Delaware Campus, as well as the extensive collections and gardens at Winterthur. As Delaware is this country’s ‘First State’, there are quite a few notable historic buildings to be found, such as the Hagley Museum, in Wilmington, and Fourteen Foot Bank Light, the lighthouse near Bowers Beach. There are numerous farms throughout the state, with varying crops, and livestock, as well as Dover International Speedway (Nascar, Sprints), Dover Downs (flat & harness racing), Delaware Casino, and Harrington Casino, which offer other exciting location possibilities.
